This is what our participants say
A real enrichment

The aromatherapy training at Farfalla was a true enrichment for me as a qualified psychiatric nurse – both professionally and personally. Especially in working with people experiencing psychological distress, I learned new, sensitive ways to promote stability and self-efficacy through the targeted use of essential oils. An inspiring training that I wholeheartedly recommend.

Aromatherapy in psychiatry

"In therapy, whether in group or individual settings, it is repeatedly and impressively demonstrated how people in psychological crises react directly to plant scents. Scents touch, provide access to emotions, can influence mood, and thus have a positive effect on drive and motivation. With dry inhalation, for example, applied in a scent bottle or scent stick, positive emotions can be enhanced or dealing with difficult symptoms and issues can be made easier."
